Frozen Eggs?

[Wisconsinted]

We finally had a really cold day today, and I got home from work to my typical 2 eggs. Happy they're laying in these short days, but the eggs were very cold, and potentially froze. If they freeze, is there any issues with using them? Storing them? Want to make sure as this could be a problem all winter in Wisconsin.

If they aren't cracked they are fine to eat, if they are cracked I toss them.
I gather 2-3 times a day during the winter freezes.
If you work all day, is there anyone who can gather eggs at midday for you?
Otherwise you might look into heated nests.

Thank you. They weren't cracked and made them 2 hours later. It will get colder so I'll remember your advice

There is cracked and then there is CRACKED. If there is fine line, I just thaw in fridge and use asap. If they are frozen solid they will crack wide, and the whites will bulge out. Those feed the dog.

You are probably colder than us, but I really don’t have a problem unless the high of the day is negative 10 or colder.
